On the OS I'm blocking all incoming traffic (except SSH) and allowing outgoing of HTTP, HTTPS, SSMTP, SMTP, FTP, SSH, DNS, that's pretty much it. However, I've got two routers; one is a Netgear running factory firmware because DD-WRT is not supported on that particular one, and the other a TP-Link running DD-WRT. These two routers are set up like so:
Code:
[MODEM]-->[NETGEAR]-->[TP-Link]-->my PCs.
So, I'm wondering if DD-WRT blocks all incoming by default. Netgear logs always have 'Attacks <
name>' such as SYN flood and ACK; I know when downloading a torrent this happens, but sometimes I'm just accessing websites like FreeBSD, YouTube, or my school's site.
Right now I've acquired a Dell Vostro 220s that looks like a perfect candidate for running pfSense. So, which router do you suggest to keep as a backup?
